The thing I loved about Jeremy’s Sherlock, was that even though he appeared to be dark and cold, he had empathy toward people who were wronged. There he showed glimmers of humanity and warmth and kindness.

Jeremy's mother was Edith Cadbury Butler, from the famous Cadbury chocolate makers family. His father was Lieutenant Colonel Henry William Huggins, an army officer. He had three older brothers, and the English actor Martin Clunes is Jeremy's nephew.

Thank you for that! I really feel very lucky & privileged to have seen Jeremy Brett on stage as Sherlock Holmes. He was electrifying! He very kindly signed my poster & programme which I treasure. I believe a few photos were taken, but sadly they didn't come out as the stage door was in a gloomy courtyard! Often one is disappointed when meeting actors in person, but certainly not Jeremy Brett who was really sweet & very modest. I'm sure he would be touched by your dedication like me!

Thanks for posting this! There is no doubt in my mind at all that Jeremy Brett is the definitive Sherlock Holmes. I was lucky enough to meet him in person outside the Wyndham's theatre. He was extremely patient, kind & friendly with a charming hint of eccentricity. He is very sadly missed, but the wonderful Granada series is a permanent reminder of what a gifted actor her was. There is no one to touch him as Sherlock Holmes!

Jeremy Brett is so synonomous with Sherlock Holmes that it really surprises me to learn how much of Holmes is a character he developed so meticulously. You really can hear the difference of the lightness in Brett's voice and the serious and darker quality of Holmes' voice. Truly, one of the great actors.

Good humoured, modest and the rarest of things in this day and age- a true gentleman, as is illustrated in this wonderful interview. Heaven gained a very bright star on the 12th September 1995, it's just such as shame that we had to lose one.

Well let me tell you, as one who turned away from the arts (especially acting) and declared to my parents that I was instead going to join the navy and train to be an officer, I can assure you that my parents, as disbelieving as they were at first, came round in just the same way. Only I was going in the opposite direction to Jeremy Brett. I’m still in now, 18 years later. With parents, it’s the concern, do you see? For instance, I have two daughters of my own now and I wish them to succeed above all else, so I suppose that if I had no concept of the field of endeavour that they had chosen, I wouldn’t know whether to be happy or sad that they’d chosen it, until I knew that they could do it and do it well. Doesn’t matter whether it’s being a librarian or a lumberjack really. As long as they succeed and are happy doing so, that’s what parents want. And I suppose that’s why Jeremy Brett’s parents and my own acted as they did. Ultimately, they understood that it was what we wanted, above all else.

It is shocking to see how badly he declines physically just a few years after this interview, and still while only in his late fifties. HE looks great here, and so charming and gracious.

Jeremy Brett will always be Sherlock Holmes for me. Watching him effortlessly portray him is a joy. I was born in '90 and discovered these in my early teens as a Holmes obsessed, old-before-his-time chap and was captivated. It can be done by others such as Cumberbatch (who really surprised me by being excellent) but Jeremy Brett simply cannot be bettered. It's an example of a perfect performance until he was unfortunately unwell and went a bit OTT.

If any of you have played the recent Sherlock Holmes adventure games series you can tell the creators have definately channeled Brett and Hardwicke as their Holmes and Watson respectively. To be honest I had only watched this series AFTER playing the games (although read the books years ago) and I can see why the developers chose Brett as their Holmes. He is absolutely brilliant and is everything I have ever imagined Holmes to be. If you haven't tried the games I recommend.

Its not just to do with the loss of his wife though, but due to the fact that the drugs he took to control his manic depression, slowly destroyed him. He also smoked heavily, with didn't help his condition, and affected his unnaturally large heart. Poor darling...

Oh, I agree with you actually. I think they didn't really know how to dose properly for bi-polar in those days, and the smoking took a huge toll for sure. Also, he had neart damage from rheumatic fever when he was a teen--it actually is a wonder he survived as long as he did!
